His work was characterized by an elegance of approach and a depth of insight that came from a deep recognition of the interplay among models, data, and interpretation. This symposium, marking the 100th anniversary of his birth, will bring together a diverse set of scientists studying, to use Keyfitz's term, the mathematics of population.The main goal of the Symposium is to serve as a forum for presentation of ongoing research on the mathematics of population. The program will encompass research on human and non-human populations, and both theoretical and applied research. In bringing together both mathematical demographers and population biologists, the symposium will adhere to Keyfitz's view, from his first book to his last, that population itself as an object worthy of study, not limited to particular species. http://mbi.osu.edu/forms/applyworkshop.html  MBI, 355 Jennings Hall, 1735 Neil Ave, Columbus OH 43210 Institute for Population Research popcenter@osu.edu America/New_York public
